"Es mūžīgi tajā kalnā būšu,

lai cik mani lejā nestu.

Veltīgi atnāci – īstenībā

tikai augšā es esmu.

Aproc mani un nokaucies,

paldies par nesumu...

Bet tikai galā, tikai tur augšā,

manu zaķi,

Es esmu."

Just ran into pics from my birthday visit with Zoe in Chico 6/19/2022.

Miss mouse’s house all decked out for my birthday. Included the pink birthday cake that I rescued and brought home for this birthday. And Zoe’s house was decked out, too. Happy Birthday. Even a shot of that awful Air B&B room I stayed at in Nord Ave. popped up.

I should be in Chico tonight. Zoe should be planning my birthday for this year. I have never met Skyler. Never heard of the Chico Sports Club or Lily’s Brazilian Restaurant. I have never met the Hospice Crew: Nurse Alex, Social worker Ralph or Nurse Ruby. ( All of these things happened when I came to be with Zoe during her dying process in Chico)

But, that’s my plan.

The mystery had another plan. 

Daniel Ellsberg died today of pancreatic cancer. I learned that he had it and 6 months to live in February or March. Before I learned of Zoe’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis.I heard Daniel Elsberg say on Democracy Now, KPFA, that in fully preparing to die, he fully lived. Daniel’s story was there with me through Zoe’s death process.

So, I’m home, not in Chico. Zoe’s beautiful home is decimated by her Land Lord and her adult grandson.

Zoe is dead.

Her ashes are here.

One of Zoe’s dearest friends e mailed me today asking “Where can I find Zoe’s obituary? I can never talk with my friend again.”

The mystery’s plan is silence. The void.

Zoe’s ashes are dead silent.

End of entry.

Note: The Intuit Indians say there are two plans for every day: My plan and the mystery’s plan.

Zoe had an eight story” house” consisting of glass enclosed shelves that was full furnished with miniature doll furniture. She called it Miss Mouse’s house.

She would decorate it for holidays and for my birthday. Knowing I would not be getting a birthday card or call from her this year, I brought the miss mouse birthday cake home with me.

Mystery/Thriller Monday

This novel was originally in German, so, it’s not surprising that most of it is set in Europe. The entire European electrical grid blacks out. A former hacker, Piero, is the one who starts investigating why, how, etc. But, instead of listening to him, those in charge don’t believe him, and instead he becomes a suspect. And, so, he goes on the run with Lauren, a CNN reporter. And then nuclear plants start leaking radiation, oh, and then the threat comes to the US shores too.

It was all thriller, wow, and it made me definitely think on just how many things in the room I was sitting while reading the book (on paper in this case, phew…) in some way or another need that crazy, crazy electricity. I, personally, think that humans are always adaptable, so, if something like the book started happening that the human race would end or anything, but, it would be hard. Want an intense book to make you walk around turning everything off to save power, ‘cause, ya never know, this is the book for you, heh.

Two of my Heros died this year

"In my office, an assistant of mine once put up little labels to show parts of the bookshelves and especially the drawers in my files. And my wife came down and saw “genocide,” “torture,” “massacre,” “terrorism,” you know, “bombing civilians,” and she said, how can I be married to somebody who has files like this in the office? And so this is California, this is Berkeley, so a bunch of her friends came down with burning sage and exorcised my office. But that has been my life since I started work at the RAND Corporation in 1958. I think about nuclear war not because I find it fascinating but because I want to prevent it, to make it unthinkable, because I care about the world that it would destroy." From an interview with Daniel Elsberg,"The Man Who Leaked the Pentagon Papers Is Scared" (and who once spoke at a conference I helped organize protesting nuclear missles and taught us about non-violent civil disobediance.)

Her book “Nickel and Dimed,” an undercover account of the indignities of being a low-wage worker in the United States, is considered a classic in social justice literature.

📚 The Fall of the President - Marc Elsberg

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

Former President Donald Trump, who is charged with stashing national security secrets at Mar-a-Lago and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them, relied on advice from the leader of the conservative organization Judicial Watch, who convinced Trump that he had the legal right to retain the documents and encouraged him to fight against the Justice Department, The Washington Post reported.

Trump's lawyers repeatedly urged him to return the document remaining at his residence but the former president instead turned to Tom Fitton, who doesn't have a law degree but has remained vocal about Trump having the right to keep the documents he took with him at the end of his presidency.

"If Trump had simply given these documents back, when he was first asked, there would have been no jury subpoena, there would have been no search warrant, and there would have been no criminal charges," former U.S. Attorney Barb McQuade, a University of Michigan law professor, told Salon. "In fact, in each of those steps of the investigation, if Trump had returned the documents, there likely would not have been a criminal prosecution."

Fitton reportedly argued that the records belonged to Trump, pointing to a 2012 court case involving his organization which he claimed granted the former President the authority to exercise control over the records from his own term in office.

Trump has echoed his claims referring to a ruling in which the judge said it was okay for President Bill Clinton to keep audiotapes of his conversations with historian Taylor Branch during Clinton's White House tenure.

"Under the Presidential Records Act — which is civil, not criminal — I had every right to have these documents," Trump said in a speech Tuesday night. "The crucial legal precedent is laid out in the most important case ever on this subject, known as the Clinton socks case."

But the key difference between the two comparisons is that Clinton's recordings were from his own interviews with a journalist and not presidential records like Trump's, legal experts say.

"The Presidential Records Act distinguishes between 'presidential records' and 'personal records' and required President Trump to preserve White House documents because those are the property of the U.S government," Temidayo Aganga-Williams, partner at Selendy Gay Elsberg and former senior investigative counsel for the House Jan. 6 committee, told Salon.

Even as Trump's advisers urged him to cooperate with investigators in their efforts to retrieve the classified documents he had taken when he departed from the White House, Trump brought up Fitton's name whenever he refused to comply with their advice, sources told The Post.

"Trump all but dared DOJ to indict him," McQuade said. "In order to be even-handed in applying the law to offenders who willfully abuse their power to handle classified information, DOJ really had no choice but to indict Trump."

Despite multiple opportunities to avoid criminal charges, Trump consistently refused to return the presidential documents requested by the National Archives since February 2021, sources familiar with the case told The Post. Trump was not charged for the documents he did return voluntarily.

"The national security documents that President Trump is criminally charged with keeping at Mar-a-Lago and refusing to return were always government records and could not be considered personal records in any reasonable reading of federal law," Aganga-Williams said.

Even as Trump publicly maintained that he was fully cooperating with government officials, his behind-the-scenes communication with Fitton reveals a different story.

In February, after the National Archives acknowledged retrieving 15 boxes of presidential records from Trump, he began receiving calls from Fitton telling him it was a mistake to give the records to the Archives, CNN reported.

One source told CNN that Trump requested Fitton brief his attorneys on the legal argument.

Fitton reportedly told Trump's team that they should never have let the Archives "strong-arm" him into returning them. He then suggested to Trump that if the Archives came back, he should not give up any additional records.

Contrary to Fitton's advice to "completely stonewall the government," Trump did hand over some material in June after a meeting between his lawyers and federal investigators at Mar-a-Lago, according to CNN.

However, investigators later found evidence suggesting that not all classified material had been returned, despite the former president being issued a subpoena. The FBI eventually carried out a search of Mar-a-Lago last August and found over 100 documents with classified markings at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

Trump intentionally deceived his own advisers regarding the contents of the boxes, telling them they only contained newspaper clippings and clothes, seven Trump advisers told The Post. He consistently refused to return the documents even after receiving warnings from some of his most loyal advisers about the potential risks involved.

His actions have mirrored the advice of Fitton – a staunch election denier who promoted conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic after the 2020 election, according to Media Matters.

Fitton entered Trump's inner circle after he caught the former president's attention, who viewed him as one of the most effective critics of the Mueller probe from his frequent appearances on Fox News, Politico reported.

His media appearances are also similar to Trump's.

In one interview with Politico, Fitton discussed what he perceived as "abuses" of power by the Justice Department and the FBI, labeled the Mueller investigation as "unconstitutional" and asserted that there was sufficient evidence to arrest and prosecute Hillary Clinton. He has built a following by appearing on right-wing networks and filing lawsuits against the federal government alleging bureaucratic corruption.

During one Fox interview, Fitton himself corrected host Jeanine Pirro after she referred to him as a lawyer, and then responded: "You should be, you get more out of courts than anyone I know." But Fitton's limited legal expertise hasn't stopped the former president from seeking advice from him. It's only complicated the role Trump's attorneys play in representing him. It's also left Trump scrambling to find legal representation a day before his court appearance after two of his top lawyers stepped down just hours after a Florida grand jury voted to charge him.

Most recently though, Fitton's advice appears to have led Trump to being charged with 37 counts including alleged violations of the Espionage Act, obstruction and false statements.

[game-set-canet]

Hellooo my dear I hope you are well! <3333 I am arriving in your inbox with a question: I am doing this reading challenge where I'm trying to read a book for every country, and funnily enough countries with LOTS of options are really hard to pick from, lol. Of course I've read lots of Austrian books in my life already but... I thought I'd ask you for a recommendation (or more than one!!!): I'm considering Ingeborg Bachmann or Elfriede Jelinek cos I never read anything from either of them, but also I only ever read Schachnovelle from Stefan Zweig so maybe smth from him? Also btw die österreischische Literatur wiki page listed Christine Nöstlinger nicht und ich finde das ist literally kriminell ich hab sie als Kind geliebt LMAO Hab außerdem grad eben rausgefunden that Hugo von Hoffmansthal was gay. Somehow I didn't learn that little detail in school! Sorry for this mess of an ask but <3 I'm sending you gigantic hugs!

ohhh, that's such a cool challenge 😍 could you give me some recommendation of books you read bc of that challenge (no matter of which country)? 💕

ich weiß nicht, ob ich gute Empfehlungen geben kann - ich lese nicht so viel von österreichischen Autor*innen. Bzw. bin ich wirklich schlecht mir Namen von Autor*innen und Buchtitel zu merken.

Eine Krimi-Reihe, die ich allerdings gerne lese sind die Salzburger-Krimis von Manfred Baumann. Er beschreibt darin besonders schön und ausführlich die Stadt und das Bundesland Salzburg und bindet auch die Geschichte davon toll in den jeweiligen Krimi mit ein. Bisher fand ich seine Bücher wirklich angenehm zu lesen, die Storyline ist nicht vorhersehbar und ich finde auch die Figuren gut beschrieben.

Ein anderer österreichischer Autor, der sehr gefeiert wird, ist Marc Elsberg, den du vielleicht eh schon kennst. Ich hab von ihm bisher nur "Blackout" gelesen, das fand ich allerdings auch gut (allerdings hab ich den Hype darum nicht unbedingt verstanden 😂 like, es war gut, aber nicht SO gut 😂). Ich hab schon mit einigen gesprochen, die alle seine Bücher gelesen haben, die fanden das "Gier" sein bestes Buch ist.

Ein Kinderbuchautor, den in Österreich wirklich JEDER kennt, ist Thomas Brezina (ich hab als Kind auch fast alle seiner Bücher gelesen) - nur der Vollständigkeit halber, damit ich alle Autor*innen beisammen habe.

Ich glaube, mit Elfriede Jelinek kann man wirklich gar nichts falsch haben - sie ist eine großartige Autorin! Ich fand "Die Liebhaberinnen" von ihr wirklich faszinierend!

Mehr fällt mir momentan aus dem Stand leider nicht ein, sollte ich noch einen Geistesblitz haben, dann schreibe ich dir 😂 fühl' dich gedrückt! 🫂💕💕

8 & 14 for the tea and books ask :3

8. What are your top three films? Books?

Argh, this is definitely one of the most difficult questions to answer. I shall simply give you some of my favourites at this very moment.

Books: "Gier" by Marc Elsberg, "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, and "Drachenbrut" by Naomi Novik.

Films: "Knives Out" (2019), "Außer Gefecht" (Tatort, 2006), and "The life of Brian" (1979)

14. What is your opinion on poetry?

Depends on the kind of poetry, I suppose.

I like the craftsmanship that's present in Renaissance Love Poetry (Sonnets and the like), and the rawness of Confessional Poetry (Thom Gunn, Anne Sexton and the like; though they sometimes went a bit overboard with the metaphors and similes. I like to at least have some idea of what it is, that the poet is talking about).

In the end, as long as it makes me react to it somehow (be it by making me laugh or cry or simply feel a bit understood), I like it.

Cyberkrieg ist völkerrechtswidrig

Mal angenommen ...

Unter dieser Rubrik finden wir in der ARD Audiothek einen Podcast (23min) über die Aufgaben und Risiken der neuen, 4. Waffengattung der Bundeswehr mit vielen interessanten Quellenangaben. Neben Luftwaffe, Marine und Heer gibt es nun auch eine Cyber-Abwehr.

Vielleicht hätten sich die jeweiligen VerteidigungsministerInnen der letzten Jahren mit den Fragen des Podcasts beschäftigen sollen, bevor sie diese "Abwehr" ins Leben gerufen haben.

Mal angenommen - ist jetzt!

Nun existiert diese "Waffengattung" und nach ihrer Selbstbeschreibung gehen ihre Aufgaben über eine normale Abwehr weit hinaus. Also einfach mal hinein hören in "Deutschland hackt zurück" ...

Denn völkerrechtlich ist ein Cyberangriff, der in der Regel beliebige Kollateralschäden hinterlassen kann (Krankenhäuser, Verkehrs- und Energie-Infrastruktur), grundsätzlich verboten. Einige realistische Eindrücke bis zum Zusammenbruch der zivilen Ordnung zeigt das Buch und der Fernsehfilm "Blackout" von Marc Elsberg. Außerdem ist Angriff nie die beste Verteidigung!

Gegen die Aufklärung von Cyberangriffen haben wir natürlich nichts, im Gegenteil. Das Problem liegt in der Schwierigkeit des Erkennens desjenigen, der ihn wirklich ausführt. Die False Positives, die fälschlicherweise Verdächtigten, werden bei Cyberangriffen absichtlich produziert. Es ist wie bei einer Zwiebel - erinnert an das Tor Netzwerk - hinter jedem Identifizierten kann wieder ein anderer stecken.

Welche Identifizierten ist nun eine legitimes Ziel und welche Kollateralschäden sind im jeweiligen Einzelfall nach dem Völkerrecht "erlaubt"?  Interessanterweise werden in dem Podcast Staaten genannt, die typischerweise Cyberangriffe durchführen. Neben den üblichen Verdächtigen wie China, Russland und Iran werden da auch Israel, die USA und Großbritannien genannt. Dass damit auch "westliche Demokratien" vorsätzlich das Völkerrecht brechen, wird einfach hingenommen.

Das heißt für die Bundeswehr aber nicht, dass sie da auch einfach mitmischen dürfte. Deutschland hat eine Parlamentsarmee, das würde bedeuten, dass ein mit dem Grundgesetz verträglicher Cyberangriff zuvor durch ein Bundestagsmandat abgesegnet werden müsste - praktisch unmöglich. Ein Statement des Verteidigungsministers zu dieser Frage wäre sicher hilfreich ...

Das Fazit des Podcast nach der durch Constanze Kurz vom Chaos Computer Club (CCC) erklärten Problems mit den "Hintertüren" in Software, ist eindeutig. Nur über solche Hintertüren sind überhaupt Cyberangriffe möglich. Statt diese schnellstmöglich zu schließen, wenn sie entdeckt wurden, nutzen (auch) staatliche Hacker sie für ihre "Cyber-Abwehr". Deshalb könnte man sich diese ganze 4. Waffengattung sparen, wenn man die IT-Sicherheit fördern und gefundene Löcher schnellstens stopfen anstatt selbst ausnutzen würde.

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen!

Daniel Elsberg and his SEVERAL moves

THERE HAS BEEN A LEAK:

Pentagon Papers: The Secrets of War

By Daniel Elsberg, Military Analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense.

During their military campaign in Vietnam, the US military or specifically the air force used large amounts of bombs which caused massive collateral damage to both military and civilian targets. The air force’s excessive use of aerial bombardments as a tactic for deterring hostile forces caused heavy amounts of damage to Vietnam’s infrastructure and could potentially cause years of instability in the region.

The US military and the air force pushed the 1925 Geneva protocol to its limits as large amounts of agent orange were dropped onto Vietnam. The agent orange compound itself didn’t violate any protocols as it was technically an agricultural product. However, their excessive use in the war caused massive amounts of environmental damage to Vietnam and it could potentially take years before the Vietnamese environment could recover from the effects of this compound. Agent orange also had profound effects on the health of both South and North Vietnamese citizens, specifically farmers as they had been exposed to the compound the most. The US military’s act in the Vietnam war could be considered as chemical warfare, which violates the 1925 Geneva Protocol.

The United Kingdom’s involvement in the war also caused further damage to the infrastructure and environment of Vietnam as their massive aerial bombardment campaign and their heavy use of highly flammable napalm bombs caused the destruction of many Vietnamese jungles. It could take years before these jungles could grow back, thus ruining Vietnam’s agricultural industry.

The war heavily affected rice production in Vietnam since aerial bombardments by the U.S. air force and the R.A.F. destroyed many rice fields in Vietnam. This could potentially cause a famine if food aid is not provided.

The U.S. government was responsible for assassinating high-profile targets such as Ho Chi Minh and performing espionage in North Vietnam, China, and North Korea.

The casualties of war were kept secret from the public by the U.S. government. By 1968, around 30,000 troops from the ARVN had died, and the US lost around 17,000 troops. However, over 200,000 North Vietnamese troops had died, along with many more unconfirmed civilian and military personnel deaths.

Published to the New York Times: February 10th, 1968.
